Secured attachment management
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by at least one computing device in a managed computing device environment, a calendar message for distribution, the calendar message including an addressee list, a resource locator associated with a file in the managed computing device environment, and a schedule associated with the calendar message;
generating, by the at least one computing device, a file schedule access policy for access to the file in the managed computing device environment based on the schedule associated with the calendar message;
distributing, by the at least one computing device, the calendar message to at least one client device in the managed computing device environment based on the addressee list; and
causing, by the at least one computing device, the file to be accessible to the at least one client device using the resource locator according to the file schedule access policy, the file being accessible to the at least one client device at a location in storage defined in the managed computing device environment by the resource locator.

Abstract
The secure management of attachments is described. In one example, a message is received by a device management computing environment from a client computing device. The message can include an addressee list, a resource locator to a file, and a schedule associated with an event, for example. The message is intended for distribution to a number of other client devices along with the file according to the addressee list. However, the file is not directly attached to the message. Instead, the distribution of and access to the file is managed separately and securely by the device management computing environment. The device management computing environment can cause the file to be accessible through the client devices using the resource locator based on the schedule associated with the event. Further, after the event, the device management computing environment can cause the file to be inaccessible and/or removed from the client devices.
